ANDY WONT GIVE UP CROWN
WITHOUT A FIGHT
Congressman A. J. -Sabath, who
is busy stealing Andy Lawrence's
thunder as boss of the H.-H. Demo
crats, has finally admitted that he
was connected with the Chicago Re
duction Co., -dch recently tried to
hold up the city in the garbage mess.
But Sabath says he is no longer,
connected with the company in any
capacity and wants $7,000 that 'he
claims is coming to him for services
rendered to the garbage bandits. k
Incidentally the Examiner takes, a
rap at him in printing the story,
showing that Andy doesn't intend to
pass on the crown without a struggle.
"Sabath," says the Examiner, "ad
mits the obvious fact that the nego
tiations to sell the plant failed. He
says it was because constant attack
had made the owners of the reduc
tion company "bull-headed" and not
because his own work and influence
was not potent."
It is rather amusing to see the
Examiner. advertising the fact that
Sabath worked and used influence to
palm the garbage plant off on the
city at the price the company asked.
Just a short time ago you would
have gotten the impression that Sa
bath was a real representative of the
people and not a political boss, who
used his office power for his own per
sonal gain, jf you read the Examiner.
The Examiner further says, "The
story in circulation had been that
the congressman iad a contract by
the terms of which he was to use
his good offices to secure the sale of
the plant to the city and in return
to receive $10,000, $3,000 of which
has been paid."
Sabath denies he had a contract,
saying that he hasn't been with the
company for fourrmonths.
Meanwhile Sabath still wants
brother Joe on the county-'bench in
stead of Andy's Judge Owens.
